He also looks like the biggest dirtball in the world. Was he a bad guy in "Traffic"?Jorge Cantu is a bad boy.
Todd Jones sucks. Give Rodney or Z a chance to close.

Yes, well for the other team.Rick Sutcliffe pronounced that Todd Jones has been doing well this year on the Cubs broadcast a short time ago.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing:Anyone know the reason for this:
After the game, the Tigers designated reliever Bobby Seay for assignment and called up pitcher Wil Ledezma from Triple-A Toledo

I assume those are Seay's numbers, but he hasn't pitched since the 9th...why wait until yesterday?

They called up Ledezma because of interleague play. He can relieve for 3-4 innings if the Tigers send up a pinch hitter in the 4-5th inning for the pitcher.Anyone know the reason for this:

I'd rather eat $6 million than screw the team out of a potential playoff run.The problem with Jones is that you cant really do anything, BUT keep trotting him out there. Any other spot in the rotation, and he will probably fare WORSE. And can you just release or re-assign a 6 Million dollar a year guy?
I'd love to see Rodeny get the ninth and Zumaya in the 7+/8th, but I fear it will be a few more weeks before we get it.
Was at the game last night, and the people I was with made us leave after the 10th.![]()
I tend to agree, but I just dont see it happening.Edit to add: This means you are paying 2 closers 12 million dollars this year NOT TO PITCH.I'd rather eat $6 million than screw the team out of a potential playoff run.The problem with Jones is that you cant really do anything, BUT keep trotting him out there.

The frustrating part is that every other pitcher on the team has been pitching brilliantly lately. Near perfect performance by Miner/Ledezma/Rodney todayI tend to agree, but I just dont see it happening.Edit to add: This means you are paying 2 closers 12 million dollars this year NOT TO PITCH.I'd rather eat $6 million than screw the team out of a potential playoff run.The problem with Jones is that you cant really do anything, BUT keep trotting him out there.

From 1968...
We're all behind our baseball team...Go get'em Tigers!
World Series bound and picking up steam...Go get'em Tigers!
There'll be joy in Tiger Town...we'll sing you songs
When the Bengels bring the pennant home where it belongs
We're all behind our baseball team...Go get'em Detroit Tigers...Go get'em Tigers!

5-2 in the 8th... do they dare bring in RollerCoaster Jones?
please let nate go 9If Nate gets through the 8th, I'll bet Jones will come in... a 3 run cushion may allow him to get his 'confidence' back5-2 in the 8th... do they dare bring in RollerCoaster Jones?please let nate go 9
ETA: Walker starting the 8th...Under the plan, the playing field would be used for Little League games, concerts and other community events. The dugouts and a few other parts of the stadium would be saved
Do the Tigers play anyone good anytime soon?![]()

Looking through their schedule it appears that there is going to be a stretch in August that should give a pretty good indication of whether or not they are going to make the playoffs...@Chicago, @Boston, Texas, Chicago, @Cleveland, @ NYYDo the Tigers play anyone good anytime soon?![]()

With the Tigers and Sox having such dominating seasons, I expect one to win the division and the other to get the wild card. So, yes. Living in Chicago, I'm enjoying the competition.You sure?Yes, in the playoffs.Do the Tigers play anyone good anytime soon?![]()
I don't know but on the radio it sure sounded to me like there were people "root, root, rooting for the Tiiigers" than there were for the cubbies.Did the guy who is doing "take me out to the ballgame" at Wrigley just say "#####es"? On Father's Day? Classy Chicago guy.
I like that as a White Sox fan you seem pretty worried since you spend much of your day over here.Looking through their schedule it appears that there is going to be a stretch in August that should give a pretty good indication of whether or not they are going to make the playoffs...@Chicago, @Boston, Texas, Chicago, @Cleveland, @ NYYDo the Tigers play anyone good anytime soon?![]()
